Before Installing the AIM IPS Chapter 5 Installing the AIM IPS Before Installing the AIM IPS Follow these recommendations before installing the AIM IPS: • Upgrade or downgrade software when you can take all applications that run on the router out of service or offline. • Make sure that you have the correct router and software for the module. • For safety and regulatory information, read Cisco Network Modules and Interface Cards Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information. • Make a note of the location of the module in the router (slot_number/port_number). The slot value is 0, and the port number field specifies the physical slot number for the AIM IPS (0/IDS-Sensor port). Note After you install the module, you can get this information by using the show running-config command. You need the module slot number to configure the interfaces on the module. For More Information • For the supported routers and software, see Software and Hardware Requirements, page 5-2. • For more information, refer to Setting Up Interfaces on the AIM IPS and the Router. Software and Hardware Requirements The router and the AIM IPS have the following software and hardware requirements: • The router must be running Cisco IOS release 12.4(15)XY or 12.4(20)T or later. Note Use the show version command in the router CLI to determine which Cisco IOS release your router is running. • The module must be running IPS 6.0(3) or later. Note Use the service-module IDS-Sensor slot/port status command in the IOS CLI to determine which IPS release your sensor is running. Or use the show version command in the module CLI. • Supported routers: - Cisco 1841 and 2801 - Cisco 2800 series (2811, 2821, and 2851) - Cisco 3800 series (3825 and 3845) Note The Cisco routers support up to one AIM IPS per platform.
